Recently I found a cool website that works perfectly in web view that would show an animated “journey” from 2 inputs: origin and destination.
Here’s how it works:
> **[Screen Recording 2021-08-15 at 08.09.18 PM](https://media.lowcode.agency/8Lu5wpNK)**
The link to the original page with all parameters:
[https://www.mapchannels.com/RouteMaps.aspx](https://www.mapchannels.com/RouteMaps.aspx)
Here’s my Construct URL column to get the webview link:
For start & destination, it accepts both lat/lon & address in text form. Lat/lon must be enclosed with brackets e.g: (35.63, 40.28).
If you pass your Google API key inside the Construct URL column then you can get pass the “advertisement” page at the start.
Hope it helps!
I will soon also post a CSS walkthrough to custom color map pins in Glide so stay tuned!

Do you have an example of how to pass the Google API KEY inside the URL? @ThinhDinh

Here’s their reference on how to add an API key.
[https://www.mapchannels.com/ApiKey.aspx#8](https://www.mapchannels.com/ApiKey.aspx#8)
You have to create an account.

@ThinhDinh Is the api key exposed when doing an app exam? I would expect so.

Yeah I passed my key as a params: key=abcdef. That worked as expected but as you said it might expose the key in the webview link.
However you can restrict the domains that can use the key in the Google Cloud console. I think it’s as close as it gets.

@ThinhDinh do you know if you can specify the domain of your app (if using [glideapp.io](http://glideapp.io)) like [myapp.glideapp.io](http://myapp.glideapp.io) - or you need to use just [glideapp.io](http://glideapp.io) - which other glide apps also use - and thereby is open to other glideapps to (mis)use

I found some examples like this for specifying a domain.
```auto
*web.domain.org/*
*.domain.org/*
https://domain.org/*
```
I assume you can just put your full app link in there instead of just [glideapp.io](http://glideapp.io), which would expose it to being used in other Glide Apps.

fantastico, mil gracias. es posible que solo al escibir la ubicacion actual y ubicacion destino se vea el mapa solo sin necesidad de darle click en ver mapa.
2. es posible que no se vean 3 cuadros sino simplemente el mapa?
